Answer:
here's Ur answer buddy
√2 = p/q
2 = (p/q)^2
2 = p^2/q^2
p^2 = 2q^2
thus p^2 is even. the only way this can be true is that p itself is even . but then p^2 is actually divisible by 4 . hence q^2 and therefore q must be even . so p and q both are even which is a contradiction to our assumption that they have no common factors. the square root of 2 cannot be rational.
